EAR-RING- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,848, dated May 3, 1904-. Application filed September 25,1903. Serial No. 174.633. (No model.)

1'0 rt/l 10/1/0111, it may concern..-

Be it known that I, J osEE PEJOHAR, a citizen of Austria-Hungary, residing at New York city, (Bronx,) county of \Vestehester, State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ear-Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an ear-ring composed of a number of separable parts by varying the assemblage of which a large number of different effects may be produced.

In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved ear-ring; Fig. 2, a section through the ear-wire and head; Fig. 3, a section through the detachable ring; Fig. i, a front view of the ear-ring; Fig. 5, a front view of the ear-ring with the ring removed, and Fig. 6 a similar view with the ring and drop removed.

The letter (4 represents an ear Wire or stem threaded at one end to receive the usual fastening-nut b and provided at its other end with a gem-setting adapted to contain a head or ornament c of suitable design. Upon the stem (6 is adapted to be removably fitted back of head 0 and in front of nut Z) a ring (I, which is also suitablyornamented and which is separated from the nut. The ring (Z has an opening of less diameter than the diameter of the head a and engages a seat or offset a, formed at the back of the latter. W hen the ring is thus seated, it forms an annular framing for the centered head, the outer diameter of the ring being greater than that of the head. Back of the ring (I a drop c is removably secured to the stem (1 by means of a chain 6,

either link of which may be slipped over the stem.

In assembling the parts the ring (Z and drop 0 are mounted upon the stem, and the latter is secured to the car A by the nut 7). The pressure of the ear-lobe against the back of ring (Z will hold the latter in proper engagement with the head 0, and thus a unitary effect will be produced. If desired, the ring (Z may be removed and the drop 0 only be secured to the stem, Fig. 5. In this case the ear-ring will present the combined effect of thehead and the drop. So, also, the drop, as well as the ring, may be removed, Fig. 6, or the ring may be retained and the drop removed. Thus it will be seen that I am enabled to produce a large variety of different effects by different assemblages of the component parts of the ear-ring, and consequently the wearer is enabled to readily alter the appearance of the car-ring to suit different tastes, styles, or toilets.

\Vhat I claim is- An ear-ring provided with a stem having a gem-setting, an inclosed head, a ring removably seated upon the stem back of the head, and a fastening back of the ring and separate therefrom for securing the stem to the car, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at N ew York city, (Manhattan,) New York, this 24th day of September, 1903.
